Schools will be closed tomorrow. That makes 3 days in a row!
The Packers and Steeler fans are laughing it up about the news coverage of our big "snow/ice storm". I can understand that it's funny to them seeing that this is nothing compared to what they get! They interviewed a few and didn't know what the fuss was about. cheesy
They are now saying it's the coldest weather we have had in 20 years.

Well I played her letterman performance from last year and it melted about 1 and a half inches of ice in front of the computer. Maybe I will have to try a few more years to see if I find a hotter one.

stew pot with whole garlic cloves, onions and a touch of salt, slow cooked all day
I have been a little worried about the animals in this weather. Last night I made shelter outside for the stray cats and figured they would stay there. They went in there for about an hour and that's it. They left for the night and showed up this morning and were just fine. I guess they are tougher than I thought they would be.
Then this morning I saw a gecko fall out of a bush and looked like he was dying. I thought maybe he is freezing to death since we never get weather this cold. I brought him inside and put him in a container big enough for him to see if he would "thaw" out and be ok. He didn't move for an hour and I was thinking he must have died because they are very quick little critters. I never see them that still and I couldn't tell if he was breathing so I took him back outside, sat him down and he took off running! He had me fooled I guess and didn't want me to mess with him. I am sure he just wanted to hibernate somewhere.
The animals are just fine but my darn pipes froze up! cheesy

outsiders just don't understand! When I lived in BC for a time they used to make fun of Ontarians when we talked about the high humidity that went with the heat here. (in BC they are blessed with warm weather and no humidity)
smart little guy! Or maybe not...he had a chance at a warm place to wait out the cold with all the food and water her wanted!

Well just woke up about half an hour ago still sort of numb from it all. Spendt 16 hrs well little over runnng the cat getting things opened up so people could go where I have no idea.
Sitting in app a cubic square yard space all that time gives one time to reflect on many things. As a rule when I do that it means spending money. The cat has a radio but to hard to hear over the motor that is like 10 inches maybe a foot from your head. So lots of time for the brain to wander all over the place. Been pushing snow for so many years not to sure I couldn't do it in my sleep. Oh well was semi warm remembers years past with no cabs.
Gone be a cold one here tonight as well as many places tonight it looks like. I have no idea how much snow we had depends on where you are standing. This area you can almost see the grass poking through and over here is a six foot drift the size of Texas. I just told my buddy wish I had taken my camera with me, never seem to have that thing when I really want it.
Welp best get to catching up on the posts as I savor a hot bowl of my chicken/veggie/noodle soup I made Monday night. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy.

Overhype is right. Thinking about going shopping Sunday. Everyone I know either watching or going to a party so should be nobody in the stores.

Pipes still froze?
That is an excellent time to go if you are not into football. cheesy
Yes. :-? Just the hot water pipes in one of our bathrooms. Now within the past hour we are not getting any hot water in the rest of the house but it's running. Just that one bathroom, the water will not run at all.
sounds like an interesting job and so much appreciated by those of us who want to go who knows where!
Going to be cold here again tonight too at -17c before adding in wind chill.
Keep warm! cheesy
Good evening, Christmas family
Today was a day with lots of emotions. I left my job of 3-1/2 years to start a new one. I begin the training process tomorrow morning at 9:30. I had forgotten something that was in the e-mail account with my old job and when I tried to get back in, which was only like an hour after I was finished today, my access had been deleted. The same with the payroll site. I understand that companies have to be secure but talk about "here's your hat - what's your hurry ?" Geesh !!! For some reason it bothered me that they "got rid of me" that fast. Funny how a company can just "delete" you as though you never existed, as though all the hard work you did didn't even matter.
I am just hoping I am not going to have a problem getting my last 2 checks. I guess I will just have to wait and see. I don't know what to do if they don't pay me. I have auto deposit so I guess I am just going to have to wait.
The storm seems to be over at last here. We are so blessed. There are many, many people in one of the nearby towns who are totally without power still tonight.
Take care Christmas family and stay warm !! xo
